I am still struggling to stick to a routine since my retirement. Although I still wake up at almost the same time in the morning to do my morning prayer, my breakfast is sometime at eight, sometime at nine and can even be at ten on some days. The same goes with my lunch and dinner. Bed time also varies considerably. As for my jogging session, its gone haywire! Terrible! I must find a routine. Its for my long term well being......

Should have known better
I was in Kota Damansara yesterday to meet some friends. The place has changed so much that it is almost unrecognisable from the Kota Damansara of say, ten years ago. I remember driving through the place many many years ago. The traffic was barely visible. The place looked deserted, a failed development I thought. Many people regretted buying land there. Now, it is booming! If only ....

Wimbledon then
I remember my days in England when Wimbledon comes around. It means summer is back and I'II be in the midst of a three months university break. Back then, Bjorn Borg was the star player. I would watch him on TV, marveling at his tennis artistry. Then one summer, a new star in the name of John McEnroe emerged. He would rage and shout his way to the title, a complete contrast to the ice cool Borg. The two weeks of Wimbledon would soon be over. The days would start to get cooler and colder, a sure sign that summer is over.
Wimbledon is here again
I'm staring at the computer thinking of what to write while the TV is showing Sharapova playing her quarter finals match in this latest edition of Wimbledon. Although I'm not watching it, I can tell its her by the sound of her consistent grunt. Nadal I'm sure will be one of the main contenders for the men singles title but I have a feeling, the new Australian sensation, Tomic, will be making more headlines news before its over.
Reflection
Thirty two years ago, when I first started work, my salary was about a thousand ringgit. The price of a Honda Civic was about sixteen thousand while that of an Accord was about twenty one thousand. Today, starting salary for a graduate is about two thousand. However, the price of a Civic is about ninety thousand while that of an Accord is about one hundred and sixty thousand. You figure it out yourself what I'm trying to say!

Cure for diabetes?
Research has shown that eating very very low calorie diet over a short period of time can cure type 2 diabetes. Came across this new found cure for diabetes while reading a newspaper in the internet. Hope this is the answer to diabetes sufferers all over the world. If it is so, it will help millions get rid of their problem once and for all.
Malaysia in elite Asian group
To be playing with Japan, Korea and the rest of the Asian football giants in an Olympic qualifying tournament is great. After such a long long time, it is just unbelievable. Lets hope they don't get overwhelm. They need to have believe in their ability, not to simply kick the ball away. Hold the ball, pass it around. Remember, possession is the name of the game.
